Psalm 8:3-4
King James Version
3 When I consider thy heavens,
the work of thy fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
It is possible I was given to dreams all my life.
And as is my nature, I'd record it, by noting all details I could remember.
I've always felt dreams had messages.
And it was up to me to "decode" the message.
I'd write down the dream, and try to understand its meaning.
My initial source for such was a Jung-inspired dream book.
One of the most sacred dreams I've ever had -- more than 20 years before GOD even made me born again -- was the "Star" dream.
There I was at a seemingly-abandoned hardware store.
Looking at some light bulb, and finding a dusty one, still in its box.
Then something caught my attention to the left.
I found this "Nativity" cardboard cutout.
I was to "hold up" its large star.
The cutout had fallen into neglect.
All dusty, forlorn, and forgotten.
But I was to "hold" up that star.
Which I did, and marveled at the significance of it all.
There was JESUS, Joseph, and Mary -- all under the star.
Schooled in Catholicism all my life, I knew the significance of that star.
But being born again for over six years now, I turn to SPIRIT and Scripture for it significance.
It's time to end the world's fallacies about the birth of JESUS, and that star.
What was that Bethlehem star all about?
Was the Catholic interpretation correct?
Are the Nativity scenes accurate?
Why did I dream it?
Let's see what the Bible says:
Matthew 2:1-2
King James Version
2 Now when Jesus was born
in Bethlehem of Judaea
in the days of Herod the king,
behold, there came wise men
from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying,
Where is he that is born King of the Jews?
for we have seen his star in the east,
and are come to worship him.
Matthew 2:7-8
King James Version
7 Then Herod,
when he had privily called the wise men,
enquired of them diligently
what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said,
Go and search diligently for the young child;
and when ye have found him, bring me word again,
that I may come and worship him also.
Matthew 2:9
King James Version
9 When they had heard the king, they departed;
and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east,
went before them,
till it came and stood over
where the young child was.
Matthew 2:10-11
King James Version
10 When they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And when they were come into the house,
they saw the young child with Mary his mother,
and fell down, and worshipped him:
and when they had opened their treasures,
they presented unto him gifts;
gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
Matthew 2:12
King James Version
12 And being warned of God in a dream
that they should not return to Herod,
they departed into their own country
another way.
One particular verse also shows the humble state of the LORD JESUS' birth:
Luke 2:7
King James Version
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son,
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,
and laid him in a manger;
because there was no room for them
in the inn.
While this verse tells us Who this baby JESUS was:
Isaiah 9:6
King James Version
6 For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government
shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
JESUS died for our sins, that we may be saved, that we may believe in Him, and have the promise of eternal life, too.
It's time for me to "hold up" that star, more than ever.
For JESUS did alert me about the Rapture in 2020.
Time is short, people are asleep, we've been writing our blogs and posts, night and day, alerting people.
It's time to be awake, aware, and alert for His SECOND coming.
Acts 3:19
King James Version
19 Repent ye therefore,
and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out,
when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3
King James Version
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren,
ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so cometh
as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety;
then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child;
and they shall not escape.
1 Thessalonians 5:4-9
King James Version
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light,
and the children of the day:
we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others;
but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night;
and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love;
and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath,
but to obtain salvation
by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Titus 2:13
King James Version
13 Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing of the great God
and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Whether the dream was for myself, to "hold up" the Star of JESUS in my heart, or to tell you about His soon-return, the objective remains the same.
We are all to pay attention to the LIGHT that is CHRIST.
And to prepare for His SECOND coming.
A dusty light bulb, versus a dusty Star.
One is man-made; the other GOD-made.
I chose to hold up the dusty Star.
I am in awe of its significance.
I thank GOD for my dream.
